< THE FULL PLOT >

In this alternative universe, join Yuki Kazuma and Koyuki Dojima of the Four Shine family on their journey to become number one. But in their way stands Kirara Goda, one of the most feared hostesses from the Sunshine Clan. She had struck a deal with some shady people to boost Sunshine's business, and now the Yakuza & Jingweon mafia is involved in taking over the cabaret business, ruled by a mysterious host. Sunshine's manager Kanzaki could not have seen Kirara's betrayal coming, but with her lust for power... this betrayal was inevitable. The one and only club Four Shine would see it's downfall after this incident and so the hostesses split up to find their own wars to fight, hostile towards one-another. There was no going back, they've made up their minds. It was clear that only bloodshed was the one true option here. But the good news is that allies have gathered to aid both Yuki and Koyuki towards the ultimate shine! Goro Majima, the former cabaret manager is working undercover as a police officer to keep Yuki as safe as possible, but will he survive the wrath of the other clubs who are trying to stop his wisdom? Or will he discover something twisted hiding in the shadows? But fear not! Detective Kiryu Kazuma is here to solve the cabaret mystery once and for all together with Majima Goro. The dream team of Four Shine!

< KNOWN ISSUES >

- Some models won't work in cutscenes if the model starts by sitting down
- Date won't load as Kiryu when he's sitting down
- Some cutscenes won't load models properly but most of them only has face issues, but I recommend skipping cutscenes
- Daigo and Kiryu's funeral suits will mute most of their battle lines and replace their dialogue sounds with their respective hostess's sound
